   * Advisory ID: DRUPAL-SA-CONTRIB-2015-101
   * Project: MailChimp [1]     (third-party module)
   * Version: 7.x
   * Date: 2015-April-29
   * Security risk: 11/25 ( Moderately Critical)
     AC:Basic/A:User/CI:None/II:Some/E:Theoretical/TD:All [2]
   * Vulnerability: Cross Site Scripting

-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

The MailChimp module allows you to create and manage mailing lists via
MailChimp's API.

The MailChimp module does not properly sanitize some user input, allowing a
malicious user to embed scripts within a page, resulting in a Cross-site
Scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role
with the "administer mailchimp" permission.


-------- CVE IDENTIFIER(S) ISSUED
--------------------------------------------

   * /A CVE identifier [3] will be requested, and added upon issuance, in
     accordance
            with Drupal Security Team processes./

   * MailChimp 7.x-3.x versions prior to 7.x-3.3.

module,
       there is nothing you need to do.

-------- SOLUTION
